Guests in town, great views & long walks.

Our youngests and blondest Christien arrived with his best friend Brad, for a 5-day visit, which was really nice! They’re not really beach bums, so they mixed things up. We had a couple of days in Dubrovnik, well we did the days with them and they did the nights! They walked the walls, as getting above the city, really is the only way to do justice to the views surrounding this magical place. We also took the opportunity to visit Fort Lovrijenac (The Red Keep in G.O.T) that sits to the west of the old city. It’s a wonderful vantage point to appreciate the massive undertaking that went into creating this spectacle. From the Adriatic the walls look as though they have literally emerged from the rock face. Saturday afternoon was the only unusable bit of weather for the lads, but even that was fun, watching an old movie and playing card games. Sunday we decided to take on a hike into Mocici (a small hamlet), where after a fairly challenging 2+hr trek, along a rugged, snaking, roman coastal path, our prize was a 1800 year old barely visable “Mithraic” stone carving, that to be honest if it wasn’t for a small group of American tourists, we probably would never have found, as it was hidden away in what I’m sure was someone’s backyard!
